Yes. Each climber needs to complete a free city rock climbing permit for trips in Garden of the Gods (and also Red Rock Canyon and Cheyenne Canon). Keep the confirmation email for your records.
Bring water (FRCC recommends 2 quarts / 2–3 liters), food (snacks or lunch), and a small backpack. Sunscreen is recommended; sunglasses and a camera are optional. Pack a light rain jacket since summer thunderstorms can happen in Colorado.
Wear sturdy footwear such as sneakers, approach shoes, or Chaco sandals. Many climbing areas require a slight hike from the parking area.
First-timers and families seem to find their perfect match here. The guides—particularly Jen, Max, Dolan, and Nathan—get consistent praise for their patience and ability to make nervous climbers feel safe and capable. Multiple reviews mention kids who started scared but finished begging to go first, which speaks volumes about how the team handles anxious moments. Parents appreciate that guides don't just rush people up routes but actually teach the fundamentals, from belaying techniques to gear knowledge. What stands out is how the guides balance professionalism with genuine friendliness. Climbers repeatedly describe feeling like they're out with a knowledgeable friend rather than just a hired instructor. The teaching approach seems tailored to each person's comfort level, and several reviewers mention walking away with skills they can use at home gyms. Garden of the Gods and North Cheyenne Canyon are popular spots, though they'll take you to multi-pitch routes in the Flatirons and Clear Creek Canyon if you're up for more challenge. The booking process is straightforward, and the company provides all necessary equipment including shoes, harnesses, and helmets.
